It is an energy due to motion
Kinetic Energy
What are the movements of molecules?
Translational, rotational/vibrational
What is thermal energy?
Movement of particles, ability for something to do work
When does molecular motion cease?
When temp. Is at absolute zero
Table of cold and hot
Table
What is the first law of thermodynamics?
Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another
It is a means of measuring or describing heat
Temperature
What are the 3 heat transfers?
Conduction, convection, radiation
Energy is transferred by via direct contact
Conduction
Energy is transferred by the mass motion of molecules
Convection
Energy is transferred by electromagnetic radiation
Radiation
What are thermal properties of a substance?
State of substance
Density and Thermal Expansion
Quantity of Heat
Variations among substances
Specific heat capacity
Thermal conductivity
Heat required to change a substance from liquid to solid
Heat of fusion
Heat required to change a substance from a solid to gas
Heat of vaporization
Mass of a substance per unit volume
Density
Changes in the density of a substance related to its temp.
Thermal expansion
What are the factors that you have to consider in quantity of heat?
Volume
Same substance at diff temp. and volumes
Two diff modalities can be of equal mass and temp but if they are not made of the same substance inequality may happen
Variation among substances
Ability of a molecule to move depend on the structure of molecule
Specific heat Capacity
Ability of a substance to conduct heat
Thermal conductivity
What is the ideal temp gradient between body and ambient temp?
7 degrees fahrenheit (4 degrees celcius)
It is heat produced by the organism itself
Internal
It is the way to transfer heat (5)
Heat conduction
Heat convection
Radiation
High-frequency electric currents
Thermal action of ultrasound
A by-product of metabolism
Heat loss
